Woman Suffers Serious Injuries In Quad Bike Accident At Mount Thorley

 BY IAN CROUCH

A woman has suffered serious injuries in a quad bike accident in the Upper Hunter.

Emergency services and the Hunter's Westpac Rescue Helicopter were called to a Mount Thorley property just after midday on Sunday to reports a quad bike had rolled, throwing a woman into a dam.

The 62-year-old suffered serious leg fractures and was treated at the scene before being airlifted to the John Hunter Hospital in a stable condition.

Meanwhile, two Westpac helicopters were called out to Segenhoe east of Scone on Saturday night to a single vehicle crash.

A 28-year-old man was airlifted to Royal North Shore Hospital with burns while a 24-year-old man was flown to the John Hunter with pelvic and limb injuries.
